SNAP.







The day of the Petanque tournament. Tonight there's a dinner at 8.00 then  'Crazy Ed and his band' will be providing their 'very own style of music' from 11.00 pm onwards. There is also an end of festivities dinner on Sunday with music provided by 'Wilbur'. No explanation for what sort of music 'Wilbur' might offer is forthcoming. 'The font' says we should go for half an hour to show we're not 'standoffish'. Angus wonders what's wrong with being 'standoffish'.

At the bakers Bob and Sophie get some choux pastry crumbs. Angus buys two millefeuilles as fortification against the torture 'Crazy Ed and his band' are likely to inflict on his hearing.

Back at home Bob finds a piece of the elasticated rope that holds down the swimming pool cover. He holds it between his paws, pulls it, then lets it go. When it goes it makes a very satisfying "SNAP" sound. Bobs is delighted with this new toy. I could swear he laughs each time he does it. He does it a lot.

Perhaps earplugs might be better.

Long may Bob retain his joy in simple things. Delightful!

May we call him BUNGEE BOB? We all purchase expensive numerous "dog toys" - and they are ignored. See what fun he mustered all by himself

P.S. I should have added: the look on BOB's face is the new definition of DELIGHT! He is the Gold Standard for HAPPY!

What is mounjetade?

Angus said...

Here is the French recipe for Mounjetade : Basically Toulouse sausage, ham and whatever else is close to hand http://blog.marmiton.org/blog/seeone_212378_5357788/MES-PETiTES-RECETTES-PREFEREES/MOUNJETADE

That's adorable! Music STARTS at 11?? Wow, y'all are living it up over there :) Personally, I'm fast asleep by then...

Angus said...

I'd like to be asleep too but there is little chance of that. Crazy Ed will only be getting in the swing of things around midnight.

If that isn't photographic evidence of dog laughter I don't know what it is.

When I look at that photo of Bob I can 'hear' him giggle. Priceless !
